An information processing system, comprising:

• a plurality of information processing devices each including:
• a first processor configured to:
• receive an activation request during a reception period which occurs in a predetermined cycle;
• and
• transmit a confirmation response upon receiving the activation request;
• and
• a management apparatus including:
• a second processor configured to:
• broadcast the activation request to the plurality of information processing devices;
• receive the confirmation response from first information processing devices among the plurality of information processing devices, the first information processing devices receiving the activation request;
• issue an activation instruction to a predetermined number of second information processing devices among the first information processing devices, the activation instruction instructing to activate the second information processing devices;
• and
• issue, to the first information processing devices other than the second information processing devices, an activation prohibition instruction to prohibit activation.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• broadcasting an activation request to a plurality of information processing devices having a reception period during which the activation request is received, the reception period occurring in a predetermined cycle;
• receiving a confirmation response from first information processing devices among the plurality of information processing devices, the first information processing devices receiving the activation request;
• issuing an activation instruction to a predetermined number of second information processing devices among the first information processing devices, the activation instruction instructing to activate the second information processing devices;
• and
• issuing, to the first information processing devices other than the second information processing devices, an activation prohibition instruction to prohibit activation.
